Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 973

Willy was gloomed over the next few days because of what happened that night. He was sitting in his office, flipping through his documents, but his sight was set onto his cell phone on the side. After a while, he was in a daze while he propped his chin.

"Sigh..."

Willy sighed unconsciously. He came back to his senses as he tapped on his head in frustration. All of a sudden, someone knocked on the door of his office lightly. He grabbed a pen on the desk and said,

"Come in!"

Lexx could tell that Willy was unusually irritated as soon as he opened the door.

"What's the matter?"

Willy asked. Lexx couldn't help rolling his eyes. He retorted, "Didn't you ask me to come up?"

"What?"

Willy came back to his senses and thought of something. He bent over and took a document from his drawer and handed it over, "Take a look at this!"

"Is this the C Financial Group's IPO proposal?"

Lexx was stunned as soon as he saw the document. He asked, "Are you planning on taking the company public in an overseas market?" Wasn't it already put on hold? Why was he bringing it up again?

"It's just a temporary proposal! C Financial Group has developed too fast in the past two years. Not to mention that it may soon come under public scrutiny, it is also already impacting many traditional industries, and could be impact many parties' interests. It is common for a company to plummet once it reaches its peak. If things go on like this, I'm afraid everything will be over sooner or later. We have planned for this for so many years. We have always tried to make the company go public but to no avail. Doesn't this prove that there is a problem there?"

It was not that Willy was fond of the idea of listing the company in an overseas market, but there were no other ways to it. There were too many barriers for the company to go public locally. Also, Willy was not willing to let go of the profitable company that he had spent years building. It could be a way to keep the company around.

"The company has not gained any attention yet. So, it's a good opportunity now. I roughly did an estimation. The growth rate this year is likely to exceed 10%! At this speed, our company is more susceptible to risk the later it gets! So, this is an opportunity for us to make the best out of the next two years to list it on the market!"

"You're right. I have the same thought too! In the future, A.I. and automation will become mainstream. The same applies to online financial management. The traditional financial management industry will be hugely impacted..."

The first ones to suffer had to be the banks! The things involved in this matter were too complicated.

"It could actually be a win- win situation to diversify the company and make this company go public independently."

In fact, Lexx knew clearly that it was a disguised form of self protection. Once C Financial Group became famous, some people might be dissatisfied with it, especially the ones in positions of power. In that case, they would still have room for negotiation at that time. It would not end up getting the entire Centurion Financial Group to become the target of everyone. That was the benefit of the diversification in it. Willy's visions and plans were always ahead of an average person.

"Well, that's what I mean. I personally don't mind letting C Financial Group rise and fall on its own accord, but it shouldn't become an obstacle in the big picture! So, we must make this happen quickly, but we should try to keep it as confidential as possible, and you have to help me find someone..."

"I understand! You're talking about Amory from Genius Audit Firm. Well, I will go meet him personally! I'll have him review all the accounts in the past three years before the company goes public! There won't be any mistakes!"

Lauren's current situation could easily be deduced with a little analysis.

Looking at the information on the cell phone, Willy remained silent. She was doing so badly, yet she was still so stubborn in front of him! How silly and upsetting!

After a while, he returned the cell phone and said, "All right, got it!"

Lexx thought that Willy would give him some instructions. After waiting for a long time, the only thing that happened was Willy's expression souring even more, but he didn't say anything more. On the other hand, Lexx didn't mention the matter regarding Zedd and Elijah as he thought that it was not important at all. He then stood up and left quietly.

Willy was in a bad mood that day, so he drove around aimlessly after work for a long time. After coming back to his senses, he realized that his car was stopped at the street where Lauren had distributed the flyers last time.

After that, he got out of the car as something crossed his mind. As expected, he saw a slender figure talking to two fashionable young women as he looked up. There was again, a stack of flyers in her hand.

"What a stupid woman! Can you even afford to pay for a month's worth of meals or a body-check-up with your annual salary here?"

Willy muttered to himself as he became progressively more upset. Lauren was pregnant after all!

Willy didn't know if Lauren had eaten yet as she seemed to have lost a lot of weight!

Truthfully, Willy felt annoyed at that moment. He clenched his hands into fists. Then, he turned around and walked towards a nearby bakery. He bought a piece of bread, a drink, and some cakes. After that, he walked out of the bakery, thinking of how to pass the pastries to Lauren in an appropriate manner. As he looked over, he inadvertently saw two people chatting happily while eating on a bench. He was heartbroken upon seeing that...
